       Something I forgot to mention here: For FreeBSD 5.2,
    FreeBSD Update is distributing only the security updates,
    and not the other fixes which have been merged onto the
    RELENG_5_2 branch; FreeBSD Update will distribute those
    fixes at a later date (and I'll post to -security and
    -current at the time.)
